I am having a similar problem since I installed F11.  All of my desktop 
icons are disappearing from my workspaces.  This did not occur when I 
did a fresh install of the base Fedora 11 (32bit) rpms.  The icons 
disappeared sometime when I was upgrading and adding packages using 
yumex; unfortunately, I do know exactly when the problem started.

I did find a temporary solution.  By running gtweakui-nautilus twice, I 
can get my icons back.  This solution only appears to work until I 
reboot at which time all my icons are gone again.

The "gtweakui - nautilis" command is found in the System -> Preferences 
menu.  You may have to install the gtweakui package if it is not there.

The first pass, you need to disable the Desktop option "Use nautilus to 
draw desktop" and close the dialog so that the changes take affect.  The 
second pass, you enable the same option.

I have not had time to dig deeper with this problem because of other 
upgrade issues that I am facing.  In other words, I do not know if this 
is a problem with nautilus or some other program.
